Old Friends

Opening and Closing Number via CD
By Stephen Sondheim
Sung by Betty Buckley

Hey, old friends,
What do you say, old friends,
Are you okay, old friends?
Are we or are we unique?
Time goes by,
Everything else keeps changing.
You and I,
We get continued next week.
Most friends fade
Or they don't make the grade.
New one's are quickly made
And in a pinch, sure, they'll do.
But us, old friend,
What's to discuss, old friends?
Here's to us — who's like us?
Damn few!
So, old friends,
Fill me in slow, old friends —
Start from hello, old friends,
I want the when, where and how.
Old friends do
Tend to become old habit —
I never knew
How much I missed you till now.
New friends pour
Through the revolving door —
Maybe, there's one that's more.
Maybe, there's one, that'll do.
But us, old friends,
What's to discuss, old friends?
Here's to us!
Who's like us?
Damn few!
[MUSIC BREAK]
Some friends do tend to become old habit
I never knew how much I missed you 'til now.
New friends pour
Through the revolving door —
Maybe, there's one that's more.
Maybe, there's one, that'll do.
But us, old friends,
What's to discuss, old friends?
Here's to us!
Who's like us?
Damn few!
